If it had been seriously tried out, we'd have some objective information
whether it actually works. All we actually have is conservative reactions
from people who've come to think of the way we do things with IPv4 as

Nobody said anything about 1st and 2nd class. There's a qualitative difference
between sites with trained IT management and unmanaged sites, and they
operate different solutions today; why wouldn't they operate different
solutions in future? What's the benefit in constraining them to the
same solution?
